Nigeria Cricket Federation will play host to the first edition of West African Trophy, which is scheduled to kick-off at the Tafawa Balewa Square Oval in Lagos, from October 4th to 15th.Advertisement

Uyi Akpata, President of the Federation, has said that the event is a result of cementing of new partnerships with new sponsors and will create platforms for the exposure of the national team to more international engagement which is key to their development. “This event is the first in its series and we are glad to put it together along with some partners, especially Dafabet. Again, it will form part of events that will prep the National Men’s Cricket team “The Yellow-Greens” ahead of other international engagements later in the year,” he said.“Sierra Leone and Ghana are our rivals on the West African corridor, and Rwanda’s profile has been on the rise as well.
